Ingredients
  

  • For the Filling:
  • 6 large flour tortillas cut in half
  • 1.1 lb 500 g ground beef
  • 1 medium onion finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped bell pepper
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped carrot
  • 4 tbsp tomato sauce
  • 3/4 cup water
  • Garlic powder paprika, salt, and black pepper to taste
  • 14 oz 400 g shredded mozzarella cheese
  • For the Garlic Butter:
  • 3 tbsp salted butter melted
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic minced
  • 1 tsp Italian herbs or parsley

Method
 

  1. Sauté onion, carrot, and bell pepper in a skillet for 3 minutes. Add ground beef and brown completely.
  2. Stir in tomato sauce, spices, and water. Simmer until the sauce is thick and juicy.
  3. Cut each tortilla in half. Place shredded mozzarella and a spoonful of beef filling on one side, then fold into a triangular pocket.
  4. Whisk melted butter with garlic and herbs. Brush the bottom of a round baking dish and arrange the pockets in a circular pattern.
  5. Brush the tops with remaining garlic butter, smother with extra mozzarella, and add a pinch of herbs.
  6. Bake at 350 F (180 C) for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden-brown. Serve hot!
